75

"Death is no threat to people Who are not afraid to die; But even if these offenders feared death all day, Who should be rash enough To act as executioner? Nature is executioner. When man usurps the place, A carpenter's apprentice takes the place of the master: And 'an apprentice hacking with the master's axe May slice his own hand.'"
